Join Duncan Wade for this course that will be ‘a little bit about all sorts of things.’ It is a great opportunity to find out more about taking pictures and the tools we use to do it.

We will learn a little, try a little, and meet with other like-minded folk who are interested in the fundamentals of photography.

Across the evening, we will look at:

• The history of photography
• Why, what, when, where
  • Why do we want to capture an image?
  • What sort of picture is it?
  • When and where are we doing this?
  • A good photograph: Composition, focus and exposure
• How
  • Different Tools and shared technical aspects
  • Things you can control: Exposure, focus, grain, blur
  • In the end what are you hoping you will have in your hands?
• Some things matter more than others, your guide to thinking like a photographer
  • Compose: see the picture.
  • Prepare: Managing the light and exposure.
  • Capture: Take the picture and get the result that YOU want.

This course is suitable for anyone interested in photography, from those just starting to think about photography or those who have given it a go before.

Please bring your own camera, all types are welcome including smartphones.

This event is part of Guildford Festival of the Arts.
